Well the fact that the boost converter is switching makes that hypothesis questionable (there is still an active switching supply inside whose radiated noise hasn't been corrected). Eliminating the external switcher may improve interference, but could the original noise have been radiated due to conducted noise from the stock wall wart? My hypothesis is that a low ripple and capacitance linear regulated supply helps the internal step up switcher perform better and radiate less noise. Just my 2 cents and not to be taken as professional opinion. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33707 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
